“This small group tour was excellent, having been a larger coach regional tour earlier in the week. We took the 2.30 pm option. It was brilliant to get 'up close and personal' in the two wineries and amongst the vineyards. The views were stunning, noticeably more than on our previous large coach experience. Driver Sergio and Guide Marco were both great in their roles and helped make the trip so enjoyable. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to others.”

You can definitely whisky through it in 1.5-2 hours however it is definitely worth immersing yourself into the history and stories! We also opted to add on a wine tasting for 1 hour which was an additional €27 for two of us as we got a discount for already having tickets to the Museum. The lady who took the wine tasting was also a judge for the Chateau Grand Cru Wine Grading and…”
